IMO, get them powdercoated.
£45 a corner round here... you'll spend half that on primer/paint/laquer, that's if you do it right the first time and then it'll get f**ked up when you get some new tyres.
Daniel is spot on. You'd get 3-4k from the insurance surely !?
You can get 172's for <£2k now...
No brainer if you ask me.
Sometimes you've just got to walk away. I've just sold a car for less than the gearbox rebuild last year cost me. No point throwing money at it for the rest of my...
Mine used to go to the red light every time, then another 50 miles, then I'd fill it.
Best idea IMO is to see where the needle is, brim it, and note how much you put in. It's a 50 litre tank, so if you put 40 litres in, you know you were safe. Do that a few times and you'll soon see if the...

This !!!
Matched inlets, filter, exhaust+decat.. buckets, bit of stripping.. see how you feel. Cams and bodies later if you feel it needs more grunt when it's due a belt.
Only a lack of MOT stops your insurance being valid in the event of an accident as far as I'm aware. I don't know how it works if the MOT runs out, and it's stolen from a locked garage !? Nothing to do with an MOT there if you see what I mean...
Best bet is the OP rings his insurance and...
